The different single-scoop ice-cream cones can you buy from this vendor=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a vendor sells ice cream from a cart on the boardwalk. He offers vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, and pistachio ice cream, served on either a waffle, sugar, or plain cone.

Different types of icecreams are 4

Types of cones are 3

For each ice cream say we can have either waffle, sugar or plain cone.

i. e. for each type of ice cream, we have 3 different cones.

Hence for 4 types of ice creams we have 3*4=12 different single scoop ice creamcones.
